Virus Overlooked As Cancer Cause Detroit (U.R) A Nobel prize winner and world renowned cancer authority told doctors and specialists at the National Cancer Conference here yester day they have overlooked the virus as the possible cause of cancer. Dr. Wendell M. Stanley, direc tor of the University of Cal ifornia's virus laboratory, re minded the 1200 conference del egates that viruses had been kn n to cause cancer in ani mals since 1911. "We know that viruses can mutate to form new strains which cause disease symptoms," he said. "We know that viruses may have different effects, de pending on the age, genetics, state of nutrition and hormone balance of the host. "We know that different cancer-inciting agents can activate latent viruses, with consequent cell destruction," And finally, "We know that virsuses can cause cancer." 'Sell Oregon' Drive Urged by Gov. Smith Pendleton (U.R) A "Sell Oregon" campaign was advo cated by Gov. Elmo Smith here yesterday as a major plank of a nine-point program designed to encourage a more prosperous and sound agriculture for Ore gon. Gov. Smith reviewed some of the causes of the ills of agricul ture and then launched into a series of proposals which, he said, might tend to bolster a strong Oregon farm economy. He spoke before the annual con- Senate Committee Approves Seaton Washington flJ.Rl The Sen ate Interior Committee has unanimously'approved the nom ination of Fred A. Seaton to be secretary of interior. Seaton, former Nebraska sena tor and recently a White House aide, was named by President Eisenhower last week to succeed Douglas McKay, who resigned to run for the Senate. Committee approval was by voice vote after its members questioned Seaton for an hour and a half on federal power policies and other matters with in the department's jurisdiction. Trie action sends the nomina tion to the Senate floor for final action. vention of the Oregon State Grange. Other Proposals In addition to encouragement of greater production of di versified crops "in which sub stitutions to meet the law of supply and demand may be read ily made." Gov. Smith's other proposal included: With wheat in mind "let us, as the No. 1 point for a stronger farm program, do everything we can to encouraee a non-partisan approach to federal farm pro grams." Work toward solution of the beef producers' problem of overproduction. . Tell the farm story, and tell it to consumers, businessmen, leg islators and state officials.

Special We received a petition signed by 10 sophomores of Klamath Union High school challenging the statement in our April news- lftter that both Winston Church ill and Wayne Morse had changed political parties in sim ilar fashion. The petition claimed that Churchill had resigned his eat in Parliament when he changed parties and that Morse should have done this in the United States Senate. We immediately checked again with the Library of Con gress and with authoritative biographies of Churchill. This great Englishman was elected to the House of Commons iti 1900 as a Conservative Party mem ber. On May 31, 1904, he ex changed his chair for one across the aisle and joined the Liberal Party. He then remained in Par liament until January, 1906. when he was re-elected as a Liberal. This is now what disturbs Ms: Who cares enough about partisan politics to goad high school students into sending us an inaccurate petition? To whom is the defeat of Wayne Morse so important that they would de liberately misinform young peo ple about the career of perhaps the greatest statesman living to day? Is political gain worth sowing seeds of partisan hate and bias ' in the minds of stu dents? No McKay Endorsement In picking a successor to Sec retary McKay, the President had an opportunity to endorse the McKay policies of surrendering Hells Canyon, of giving away the Al Sarena timber in the Rogue River National Forest, of permitting oil and gas wild catting on our wildlife refuges. The President declined to make this endorsement. By going totally outside the Interior Department to select ex-Senator Fred Seaton as the new Secretary, President Eisen hower repudiated the McKay re gime. Mr. McKay and a whole set of conservative Republicans had been urging the appointment of Under Secreraty Clarence A. Davis, the man who back- stopped such relinquishment of natural resources as the Al Sa rena deal and the wildlife gas drilling. Davis had served as "acting Secretary" since Mc Kay's departure. He was Mc Kay's right-hand man. He was the man whose defense of Al Sarena got such headlines in the Oregon press. But he wasn't the man whom Dwight Eisenhower chose to head the Interior Department.

BEAM DISTILLING CO., CLERMONT, KENTUCKY It is my understanding that for mer1 Senator Seaton is a capable man, of integrity and of mod erate views on resource develop ment. I am sure I will not agree by any means with all his posi tions. But I rejoice that the President left McKay's aides at the post and selected a man not associated with the "give-away" of our resources.
